needs more heat and tighter grip
Excited to find a butane flat iron for upcoming trip. I have thick wavy hair and found 2 issues with this product. 1) the flat iron does not get to a needed hi heat, 2) the plates do not close to firmly grip hair. If you have straighter hair it might work for you.
Disappointed in this product as I really wanted to find a butane flat iron.

Best for Weak Hands
I have used cordless Conair curling irons for over 10 years. I travel with this accessory always. The flat iron is easy to use because it is lightweight and it has a clamp opening like a curling iron, so turning the iron at the ends, the hair strand stays put. It is simple to use and is particularly good with thinner hair. Heats up fast, a light shows it is on, and replacing the cover always turns off the butane if you forget. I've used it in the car, at the gym, and in the airport. This hair product is very well designed and is made of quality materials.

Mixed Review
The conair Thermacell Flat Iron is light in weight and easy to figure out how to use it. The iron heats up somewhat slowly and the blades are not heavy enough to really grip your hair and iron it. It does a passable job for travel.

Useless
Bought for a trip to Croatia to make my bangs manageable, but after two times of use, I found I could do as well or better without it - relied on my brush alone. Hoping for a solution, but this clever-sounding item was useless.

Concern that there is NO temperature control. Box indicates 419 degrees, very hot for average or fine hair. Otherwise, ok for use on international trip.
